US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Saturday that cooperation between China and US is "Critical" to finance the fight against climate change.

"Climate change is at the top of the list of global challenges, and the United States and China must work together to address this existential threat," she said on the 2nd day of her visit to China during her participation in a round table in the presence of a number of experts.

"History shows us what our two countries can do: moments of cooperation on climate between the United States and China have made global breakthroughs possible, including the Paris Agreement," Yellen added.

"Both our countries seek to support partners in emerging markets and developing countries as they strive to meet their climate goals, and I believe continued U.S.-China cooperation on climate finance is critical," she continued.
